Tanqueray is a renowned British gin brand that was established in 1830 by Charles Tanqueray in the Bloomsbury district of London. The brand is particularly noted for its forward-thinking approach to gin distillation, which was somewhat revolutionary at the time, incorporating exotic botanicals from around the world. After the original distillery was severely damaged during World War II, production moved to Scotland.
Tanqueray London Dry Gin is a quintessential example of the London Dry style, delivering a crisp, juniper-forward profile. The palate is dominated by piney juniper, complemented by notes of coriander, angelica root, and a subtle sweetness from liquorice. Hints of citrus zest and black pepper add complexity, leading to a clean, dry finish that lingers pleasantly.
